The Art of Doing Nothing: A Philosophy of Excellence

At the Institute for the Study of Not Doing, we hold that true productivity is not about achieving more, but about achieving less. Our team of experts, each a master of the art of doing nothing, have perfected the technique of doing the bare minimum.

Our research has shown that the most efficient way to get nothing done is to do nothing at all. We have developed a range of innovative methods, including:

1. The Procrastination Method: We identify the task at hand and immediately put it off.
2. The Binge-Watching Method: We spend hours binge-watching our favorite TV shows and movies, thereby gaining valuable experience in doing nothing productive.
3. The Snack-Based Method: We fuel our productivity by consuming copious amounts of food and drink, thereby conserving energy for more pressing matters.

Our team includes:

• Dr. Emily P. Bottomsworth, Director of Doing Nothing
• Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, Associate Professor of Procrastination
• Balthazar McSnively, Chief of Binge-Watching
• Samantha S. Snackwell, Snack Specialist
